Very nicely in-character. I love the hostility from Angela and all the PPC politics!

Author's Response: nqllisi:  Thanks so much.  I've always found the dynamic of the PPC to be kind of interesting... sort of a labyinth of suspicion, deception and intrigue.

You go, Jim! A great birthday and a very good plan for the future!  This was a very nice story. I especially liked Jim giving Angela hell. Well done!

Author's Response: Oh...thanks again.  I kind of enjoyed that part, too!!

*sigh* I want to be just like you when I grow up. Seriously, this is so well-crafted. Your pacing is perfect, the phrasing is spot-on, the characterizations are both sparse but fully realized, and the plot is delightful. You're good at this. It is great to read something new of yours!

Author's Response: I don't know, Lis - I'm a terrible housekeeper and not-very-good cook. MorningAngel seems a more mature role model around these parts! But thanks, really. It was rewarding to write. Glad to hear the pacing was okay - I'm not good at judging that.

This is gorgeous. It is so perfectly true that o almost feel like I've read it before- because I kept thinking yes, yes, that's it exactly. I love that she recognized how significant the beach was. I love how strong and clear-eyed she is. Any more treasures you'd care to share?

Author's Response: Thank you! 'Like you've read it before' is such a great compliment! :) Yeah, I've got a whole folder of stuff to brush the dust off at some point. Maybe there will be something else soon.

Karen had no idea that she was getting tangled up in someone else's love story. She always deserved better (even as I was desperate to be rid of her at the time). Loved this.

I love the undercurrents here. These two people are decidedly not perfect and have terrible relationship habits-- but they love each other anyway. And we love them, and this story. Well done!

Summary: Past Featured Story

 This story takes place right after the events of Valentine's Day, season 2. Pam has an epiphany and realizes that the life she wants isn't necessarily the life she has now.

Jim is in love with Pam Beesly, despite that ring on her finger. He pines for her, leaves her, and finally puts his own ring there instead. See that world through Jim's eyes (with special sections through Pam's eyes as well!)

So cute! It is always fun to think about the early days of their dating relationship, when it would have all seemed unreal and giddily exciting. Nice idea and execution!

Author's Response: Why thank you. I had a lot of fun writing this one. Backstories are a lot of fun since at least to me leave wider canvas to write on. Who we are now depends heavily on who we were in the past. Why Jim goes for simple costumes and Pam's joy in wearing them so often just demands some explination. It was great fun to explore that. Thanks for the review.

Summary:

My submission to the 2018 Halloween contest!

Dwight has a haunted corn maze at Schrute Farms -- Jim and Pam decide to check it out. Set somewhere either pre-cameras or s1, not quite AU but not episode related either.

Summary:

Submitted for the 2018 Halloween competition

Jim listens to Pam ask the kids to put on their shoes, remind them to get their folders from the homework basket, inquire if they remembered to put a snack in their backpacks. Since October 2007 (before that, if he’s really honest with himself) Halloween has never been ‘just another day’ with Pam, but here she is in 2018 with no costume, no theme, and no expectations of him. He’s left feeling unsettled and...more than a little disappointed.
